Re: Gordon or Mayo?

Right now it is easily EJ...25 PPG already, flat out scorer, good defense comes along with it as well. He'd easily be a fan favorite and he'd be even better here with the Pacers. Mayo is very underrated, though. In the right system, I could see him eventually becoming a big-time player in the league as he's one of those players that has just been "born ready" to play basketball, just like Lance, LeBron, Durant, and all of these other young guys that have been prodigies since even before high school. Right now I believe either guy would be great for the Pacers. I think Gordon would be the safer route as well as I don't really recall any attitude problems with him whereas we've heard of the few problems that Mayo's had in Memphis and in high school. I think he's finally starting to mature, though.

Re: Gordon or Mayo?

He'd definitely be a really good leader for us and he'd do well playing on the wing with Paul and hopefully get Nene at PF.

EJ is one of the most underrated players in the league. He's not just a shooter. He's scores at will, he gets to the hoop and makes a good amount of clutch shots like you'd expect a guy like Wade to make. Despite his height, he's a really good defender too. You can put him on opposing 2s or PGs and he does well.

I went back recently to watch a game where he scored 36 points (season high) against Minnesota and I was very impressed with how high his bball IQ is based on his decision making and the shots he made.

Re: Gordon or Mayo?

I want EJ in a Pacers uniform and I'm willing to give LAC Danny for him. He's going to be a top star and is already solid.

Since both names have been brought up I was interested to see who might prefer Mayo maybe because the price to get him is lower.

If Mayo had a season like he did last year this would be debatable but with EJ improving his numbers and Mayos numbers dipping quite a bit it isnt close.
Mayo could rebound next year but I dont think he can if he is still playing for the Grizz.
